BEAUTY REVIEWS: THE BODY SHOP

Since recently becoming a consultant for The Body Shop I've been lucky enough to sample their best selling products and find out more about their new product ranges before they launch. One of the main reasons I signed up to this scheme as a consultant is so I could share new product launches with my blog readers and give you a sense of what these fantastic products have to offer.

If you're a lover of Body Shop products I'm sure you'll have tried at least one of their Body Butters before as there are so many to choose from in the collection.

For the moment, I've only tried three key body butters so here's what I thought about them:

Wild Argan Oil Body Butter, £13 for 200ml

Out of the thee body butters I've sampled this is my ultimate favourite. I don't tend to use a body moisturiser very often which is very bad I know so I find this buttery formula with Community Fair Trade Argan Oil from Morocco to be very nourishing and particularly good if you have very dry skin, like I do! The scent of this body butter is pretty subtle and the texture is very smooth which is one of my main preferences as perfumed body butters can irritate my sensitive skin.

Coconut Body Butter, £13 for 200ml

The coconut body butter is more rich and creamy on the skin and has a tropical coconut scent which is slightly stronger than the Argan Oil Body Butter. Ideal for normal to dry skin, this formula contains virgin organic coconut oil and leaves the skin fully hydrated for 24hours, you really can't get better than this for intense moisture! This works really well if you also use the Coconut Shower Gel.

Shea Body Butter, £13 for 200ml

Out of the three this Shea Body Butter came runner up as it has the most amazing subtle nutty fragrance! With Community Fair Trade Shea Butter, this formula is ultra soft and smooth and works best on very dry skin, making it perfect if you don't use a body moisturiser as frequently as you should.

Each pot is £13 and considering you get 200ml there's plenty of product for 5-6 months usage so they are great value for money too!

I'm regularly testing out products from the full Body Shop range at the moment so if you'd like to see more regular updates like this or you would like to order any product, please head over to my Facebook page which you can find here.
